What is your idea of perfect happiness?
A well made dress with pockets that magically fits beautifully no matter what mood my body is in.
 
What is your greatest fear?

Is that I will be forever ruled by ego.
 
What is the trait you most like in yourself?
I love that I can have five dollars in my bank account but I will still plan a trip to an exotic far off land. My best trait is that I am a dreamer.
 
What is the trait you most like in others?
People who stand up for what they believe in even if it’s not popular.
 
Which living person do you most admire?
Julian Paul Assange, and Starhawk
 
What is your greatest extravagance?
Going to the organic bio grocery store and dropping 300 euros on produce and potions.
 
What is your current state of mind?
Blissed out
 

What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
Prudence 
 
On what occasion do you lie?
When I love. I don’t have to share every single thought that comes to my mind when I am with people that I love. Especially if it would hurt them.
Lies are just distortions of reality. Not as bad as everyone makes them out to be.
 
Do you dream in French or in English?
Both!
 
Is spirituality important to you?
My path to God is the most nourishing relationship I can have with myself.
 
What is the quality you most like in a man?
Dominance 
 
What is the quality you most like in a woman?
Dominance
 
Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
Honey! I call everyone honey! And I love to say thank you, and oh my Lord!
 
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
I would say myself ages 1-10. I think a lot of people are so hard on their little selves.
 
When and where were you happiest?
Eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on the beach in Florida, when I was a child.
 
Which talent would you most like to have?
I already have the greatest talent in the world! Why would I want another one? 
 
What is your ritual before a live performance?
Deep breathes and then I say, “I give love. I receive love. I am love.” Exhale.
 
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Getting the hell out of Mississippi.
 
What is your earliest memory of music playing at home when you were a kid?
When I was little, my mammaw had a karaoke machine that she would sing hymnals on. That was my favorite thing to listen to her sing those songs.
 
Where would you most like to live?
Switzerland or New Zealand
 
What is your most treasured possession?
My wedding ring and my mother’s old jewelry box from when she was a teenager.
 
Do you talk to people sitting next to you in planes?
Depends on the vibes of the other people.  When I was younger I would talk to anyone and everyone, but now I am way more selective.
 
Do you receive love letters in your DM?
I did before when I was sending out that sort of hey I am easy and available hysterical and unstable kind of energy.
 
What is your most marked characteristic?
My softness, my curves, my lusciousness (I know more than 1!)
 
What do you most value in your friends?
No judgements
 
Who are your favorite writers?
Kate Atkinson ( Life after Life), Nell Zink (The Wallcreeper), Sandra Newman(The Country of Ice Cream Star)
 
Who is your hero of fiction?
Oh I love rebel girls and rule breakers like Trixie Belden (Trixie Belden Mysteries), Lyra Belacqua (The Golden Compass), and Lauren Olamina (Parable of the Sower)
You have to understand I was raised to be good and proper and follow the rules. I desperately needed fictional heroes who marched to the beat of their own drum and followed their intuition against all odds.
 
Who are your real life heroes?
Anyone who is brave enough to go deep inside themselves and do the inner work. The only way we can make the world a better place is by healing ourselves.
 
PJ or Tori?
Oh God I love them both! Ok Baby Sarah chooses Tori obviously. Older wiser Sarah chooses PJ. Let England Shake was so unique.
Which venue would be a dream spot to perform?
Carnegie Hall
 
What is your favorite Madonna song ?
Oh there are so many good ones! Rain, Live to Tell and Open Your Heart! My top three. Too hard to choose just one don’t you think?
 
What is your motto?
Thank you, I love you, I am sorry, Forgive me. Works like a charm every time.
